Somber in shade yet undeniably striking in presentation, the painting shows a memorial with a lit vigil candle that’s beginning to burn a US flag, plus a portrait of a ghostly figure surrounded by flowers and more commemorative candles.

“People of colour are being failed by the system. The white system. Like a broken pipe flooding the apartment of the people living downstairs. The faulty system is making their life a misery, but it’s not their job to fix it. They can’t, no one will let them in the apartment upstairs.
